First of all, open-vm-toolbox, is a transitional package. The GUI

Sorry, but this is not the case at all - VMware's primary products are

I agree with Shane. Desktop users are far more likely to install the
official tools anyway. It's people using servers (in our case, an ESX
cluster) where the open vm tools become very useful.

I assume your referring to the dependencies of: xauth, xserver-xorg-

Yeah, a number of the added depends and recommends lead back to X stuff.
Here's the added ones that do, as far as I can tell:

This seems like a very strange thing to do.

Agreed 100%, this is a set of tools that are infinitely usable without
